Whoever is changing my titles . . . Stop it! I like my titles!
Disclaimer: Someday, I will own The Lord of the Rings. Someday, I will be able to play all The Lord of the Rings piano songs from Memory. Kelsey can do most of them. But it is not this day. This day, I own nothing, not even the basic frame of this discalimer.
Fill 'er up, Grampa!
Kelsey's PoV
What the heck was happening tonight? Mandy and Nicole seemed to be the only ones who knew and neither of them would tell me anything!
I complied with packing about half a dozen dresses, one shirt, one tunic, one pair of leggings, some under-things and two pairs of boots. That's when I found out that it wouldn't all fit in my bag.
"Wha–" I snapped. I grabbed my bag and flung it at the wall . . . Which is when I had a brilliant plan. I leaped off of my sofa bed and snatched my bag, racing to the rooms where the Fellowship was staying. Tentatively, I knocked on a door. Gandalf opened it, glaring down at me. "Hey, Gra–"
"I am not your grandfather!" he bellowed.
"Whatever. Can you do me a favor?"
"What?"
"Can you . . ." I paused. "Can you make it so that my bag can have everything I want or need and still be able to close?" Gandalf frowned.
"Give me your bag." I handed it to him as he looked it over. "Hmm . . . Ahh . . . Hoom . . ."
"Well?" I asked, tapping my foot impatiently.
"It just might be possible," he replied. "but I'll need to keep your . . . bag for the night."
"Done!" I grinned. "Pleasure doing business with you." I skipped back to our rooms where Mandy and Nicole were discussing packing business.
"But what about this blue cloak?"
"Naw . . . You're a purple person. Oh! How 'bout this tunic?"
"You've got to be kidding me, Mandy. It's . . . I don't know . . . White with a hint of pink!"
"But Legolas likes it . . ." Mandy faltered as she noticed me. "Kelsey! What do you think? Should I bring this?"
"No," I simply replied. "In fact, don't bring anything."
"Why not?"
"Because my bag's going to have everything." I sat down on the sofa with them "Gandalf's rigging it for me so it can have everything. I mean, you might want to pack a few essentials, but, otherwise, I'll have it."
"Oh! Coolio!" Mandy exclaimed, throwing the clothes she had been packing onto the floor. "Now I can get ready for tonight!"
"Me, too!" Nicole squeaked.
"Hey! Wait!" I commanded. "What's going on tonight?" Mandy and Nicole looked at each other.
"Kelsey, find the prettiest dress you can and wear it."
Ooooh . . .well, there's nothing shiny to oooh at, actually. Drat. Oh well! Ooooh .. . Aaaah . . . Shiny!
As to Lorelome's question of our location . . . I think that those words of wisdom are actually a national set 'cause ours are in a binder and there are special ones for certain days of the year and enough for almost everyday.
I do believe I would have packed that whole suite if I could have, but it wouldn't fit, and there are other things I'd want to bring.
Hey! I've got an idea! If you have nothing to say about the story, tell us what you would pack if you were to go travelling. It must fit in an average bag that you can carry.
